Kai and Speed finish their Minecraft marathon by...?
My read is that a Yes is possible but still unlikely, because the stream has to end cleanly before the deadline and remain ended for 12 hours. With no fresh confirmation that the marathon is wrapping up, the market’s heavy No price looks broadly justified.
Analysis
The market is pricing this as a strong No, and that makes sense given the structure of the bet. Kai and Speed would need to stop broadcasting the marathon before the deadline and avoid any restart within 12 hours, so a simple short break does not count. With only a small amount of time left, the default assumption is that the stream either continues past the cutoff or ends in a way that does not satisfy the finality rule.
There is still a plausible path to Yes because marathon-style streams can end abruptly. If they have reached a natural stopping point, grown tired, or decided the content has run its course, they could shut the broadcast down quickly and leave it off long enough to satisfy the market. Since the resolution depends on the Twitch broadcast itself rather than on beating Minecraft, an abandonment or post-completion sign-off would be enough.
Against that, the combination of a high-profile duo and a hardcore Minecraft format usually supports endurance over closure. These events often stretch until the participants are genuinely done, and the 12-hour no-restart requirement makes a clean resolution harder than it looks. With no recent news indicating a finish, the more likely outcome is that the marathon is still ongoing when the deadline passes, which keeps No as the base case.
Arguments
For
- Arguments for Yes: Hardcore marathon streams can end abruptly if the participants decide they are done.
- Arguments for Yes: The broadcast has already run for days, so fatigue or scheduling pressure could force an early stop.
- Arguments for Yes: The market only cares about the stream ending, not whether Minecraft is formally beaten.
Against
- Arguments against Yes: The current market price suggests the crowd believes continuation past the deadline is far more likely.
- Arguments against Yes: There may not be enough time for both an end and a full 12-hour no-restart window before resolution.
- Arguments against Yes: Even if they pause, restarting within 12 hours would keep the marathon alive under the rules.
Key drivers
- The deadline is very close, so the outcome depends mostly on whether the marathon is already near an end.
- The market price implies traders expect the broadcast to keep going or resume rather than end cleanly.
- The 12-hour restart rule means a temporary sign-off does not automatically produce a Yes.
Risk factors
- A sudden game completion or planned finale could cause the stream to end before the cutoff.
- A brief technical shutdown could be mistaken for a true end if they do not return within 12 hours.
- Lack of live status information makes it easy to overestimate how much longer the marathon will last.
Scenarios
Best case
Kai and Speed end the marathon broadcast before the deadline and stay offline for at least 12 hours, making the market resolve Yes.
Most likely
The stream either remains live past the cutoff or only pauses in a way that fails the finality requirement, so No remains the most probable result.
Worst case
The marathon continues through the deadline, or they end and restart within 12 hours, so the market resolves No.

Will OpenAI or Anthropic IPO first?
AI28%MKT92%Edge-64HypedAnthropic currently looks more likely to reach the public markets first, so I put OpenAI first at a fairly low probability. The market’s 89% implied yes price looks too optimistic unless OpenAI’s timetable has recently accelerated behind the scenes.

Which agencies will Trump eliminate?
AI84%MKT30%Edge+54Hidden GemUSAID looks much more likely than not to count as eliminated during Trump’s term, because the administration has already dismantled its independent operations and shifted its functions into the State Department. The main uncertainty is whether the market requires formal legal abolition, but even under that standard the path toward Yes remains materially stronger than the current price implies.

Starbucks total global stores in 2026
AI68%MKT15%Edge+53Hidden GemStarbucks is more likely than not to finish 2026 above 41,800 global stores. The threshold is only modestly above its last known scale, and ordinary net expansion should get it there unless management materially slows growth or closes a large number of stores.
